Try Not to Die | comment |
When heroes are about to go Storming the Castle, or facing impossible and deadly odds, "Try Not To Die" is a common saying in more grim works. Not, "Knock 'em dead!" or the more emotive "We're counting on you", but this simple, plaintive request... which goes a long way to saying just how bad the odds and low the expectations are of the adventurers as well as their loved ones. Compare How Dare You Die on Me! Contrast Prepare to Die. Has nothing to do with Press X to Not Die. |

Dragon Age: Dragon Age: Origins: In the City Elf origin, the PC will ask Duncan (a human) to leave the Alienage. Duncan refuses, pointing out there is little that the PC can do about it, as he is both armed and armoured. If the PC challenges him to a fight anyway, the main character's cousin (who has been listening in on this exchange) will say "Try not to die! I'll run for help!" Dragon Age II: It's a sign of the begrudging respect that the Arishok develops for Hawke that he often ends their conversations in this way, instead of the "Begone!" he reserves for everyone else, including the Viscount. Dragon Age: Inquisition: Blackwall asks Solas for advice on fighting demons. "Survive the first thirty heartbeats." Blackwall is annoyed that he's basically just saying "don't die," but Solas clarifies that demons are generally unimaginative, and if you survive the first thirty heartbeats, you've probably seen all their tricks. |

Bleach: When Orihime tells this to Ichigo to stop him from hating himself, this becomes the turning point of the fight between Grimmjow and Ichigo. Also the main gist of the prayer/oath that Renji chants when he, Ichigo, Rukia, Ishida, and Chad split up during the beginning of the Hueco Mundo arc. |

A Certain Magical Index: During the invasion of Academy City by Vento of the Front, Misaka shouts this to Touma as he goes to fight Vento while Index goes to find out how to free Kazakiri from her forced "angel" mode and Misaka stays to fight off some Mooks. In the same arc, Accelerator and Touma end up talking on cellphones, and neither recognizes the other's voice (the last time they met, they were enemies). Both encourage the "stranger" on the other end to survive. |

Arrow. In Season 8, Oliver Queen tells his sister Thea that the Monitor has foreseen his imminent death, and is annoyed at her underwhelming response as due to the number of times he's turned out to be Not Quite Dead, she assumes her brother will survive as always. But knowing Oliver believes otherwise, she encourages him not to die at the end of the episode. This time however Oliver really does die. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: This is the only order Roy Mustang gives to his team just before they begin their rebellion in Central. Later, Hawkeye repeats this order after her throat is slit in an attempt to force Mustang to perform Human Transmutation and she's bleeding to death. The Gold-Toothed Doctor wryly notes that if immortality were that easy, he's wasted his entire life. Also said twice by Riza Hawkeye to Mustang - once at her father's funeral and the second time when she's reassigned to Fuhrer King Bradley's personal guard. |

Borderlands 2: The Dr. Zed vending machines occasionally say this verbatim when you exit from them. Marcus' machines go with "Don't die! I need your business!"

Discworld: The three rules of the Borogravian army in Monstrous Regiment, as explained by Sergeant Jackrum: In Feet of Clay, Vimes orders Corporal Littlebottom to not let go of the slippery pole she's clinging to and fall in the giant vat of molten candle wax down below. This book also introduces the Dwarves' version of this trope; they have an ancient battle cry of "Today is a good day for someone else to die!" In another Watch novel, Lady Sybil says to Vimes "Try not to get hurt", and he replies with something like "I always do, dear. The criminals don't always co-operate, though." General Tacticus welcomes fighting a man willing to die for his country, it means the both of you have the same goal in mind. |

Crops up at least twice in the Golden Sun games, said usually by hapless secondary characters or currently-unavailable main characters. For example, Jenna calls out, "Isaac, Garet! Don't die!" at a suitably dramatic point not long before the pair hears the call. Given how blatant the lines are, this is potentially lampshade-hanging. | |

In the movie Rookie of the Year, a kid basically gets a major-league pitching arm by accident. He signs with the Chicago Cubs, and soon after that is forced to take a turn at bat (since the Cubs play in the league without a Designated Hitter). The batting coach is called in to talk strategy with him but in the end, the situation is so ridiculous that he can't come up with anything but "Don't die." | |

Said very cheerfully by Moira Brown in Fallout 3. While she generally behaves in a batshit insane manner, some dialogue suggests this is just her way to cope with life in a wasteland. You can make her permanently like that with the right (wrong?) choices. | |

Tales of Symphonia: Kratos says this to Lloyd on the night before you enter the Tower Of Salvation — a somewhat ironic usage given he is The Mole and has no qualms with handing the party their asses the next day, even if he balks at actually finishing them off. One or two times after that as well, although this time, he wishes for Lloyd not to die to himself. He is Lloyd's father after all. Lloyd later says this to Regal right before his You Shall Not Pass! moment, telling him that he doesn't want to experience the same pain of loss that he went through. |

This is said quite a lot in the Gundam metaseries, usually phrased as an order before a battle. Shiro Amada's pep talk to his new squad in Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team can be summed up thusly. Shiro practically considers it part of their standing orders. A variation occurs in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, where Garcia asks Bernie not to die when they go forward with the operation to destroy the NT-1 - because if he does, Garcia will be the lowest-ranked member of the Cyclops Team again. |

Resident Evil 4 (Remake): At the beginning of Chapter 6 of Separate Ways, Ada and Leon have a video call in which she shares the location of Los Illuminados' important facilities, including a lab that can cure Leon and Ashley of their parasites. She tells Leon "Don't die on me now", although it's after the call ends, so it's more of a prayer. The reason being Leon is heading in a different direction than her, so she can't intervene to help him if the situation turns south. | |

Used in Armored Core 4's infamously hard "Marche Au Supplice" mission. It's an optional mission that is not required to clear the chapter, but it is undoubtedly the hardest, with you taking on 4 NEXTs at once. While your Operator assures you of your ability to do that, the fact that she uses this trope is indicative on how hard it is. | |

Justice League Unlimited: There's an episode where a group of the JL women have been brainwashed and thrown into a ring to fight it out for the entertainment of a crowd. They manage to overcome the brainwashing, but then the four of them get pitted against a brainwashed Wonder Woman, and this trope is basically what they think of their chances. Youtube link Unfortunately Huntress follows up that quip by attempting to shoot Wonder Woman with a crossbow bolt, which definitely qualifies as a bad plan. |
